Raoulin Picard

Raoulin Picard (1557-December 1600) was a French Navy captain during the Dutch Revolt. In December 1600, he was entrusted with command of the 20-gun sloop La Sabre Affame as it left Nouveau Paris for the Florida Keys, carrying Mayor Bernart Aveline aboard. However, it was attacked by the Dutch privateer Jan Alen shortly after leaving port, and Picard and much of his crew were killed in the ensuing battle, which resulted in Alen plundering the ship and impressing some of its crew.
